Very tapered at ankle. I wore this fit for a long time but it’s very slim fitting and comfort suffered for my build. Often rides up my thighs and needs to be pulled out of the crotch area. \n\nClassic fit: my favorite by far. Looser fitting around thighs and butt but not baggy. Same goes for the lower legs. Straight fit that looks ”classic”. Would recommend for most people. Will be buying more colors of this fit. \n\nRelaxed fit: fits about the same as the classic fit in the thighs and butt surprisingly.

lifespan","entries":{"air_dry_flat":"Although the care tag permits low-heat tumble drying, air drying the Meta pant flat on a mesh rack — practical given polyester’s fast-drying nature — avoids thermal stress entirely, preventing the PET fiber crystallization above 55°C that makes fibers brittle and prone to pilling, which would otherwise erode the smooth, dressy hand of the fabric.","wash_inside_out":"Turning the Meta pant inside out before washing shields the outer face from the micro-abrasion that wears down the fabric surface and causes visible color dulling — especially important for the Black and Charcoal variants, where even minor surface wear is more noticeable.","no_fabric_softener":"Fabric softener coats polyester fibers with a sticky cationic surfactant film that attracts dirt, accelerates pilling, and can reduce breathability — skipping it entirely keeps the Meta pant’s moisture-wicking finish functional and its surface smooth longer, a small change that directly counteracts the dulling that makes pants look prematurely old.","cold_water_under_30_c":"Vuori's care tag says machine wash cold, but the specific safeguard against fading on 100% polyester is keeping water temperature at or below 30°C — disperse dyes start migrating above 40°C, and washing at 27°C rather than 40°C reduces dye bleed by over 3x in lab tests, making it the single most effective step to preserve the deep color of Black and Charcoal Meta pants.","vinegar_presoak_for_odor":"When the Meta pant picks up body odor from all-day wear, a 30-minute presoak in a solution of ¼ cup vinegar and cool water breaks down trapped oils without harming the fabric or causing color bleeding, restoring freshness without the frequent washing that accelerates wear."},"entry_quotes":{"air_dry_flat":[{"url":"https://vuoriclothing.com/products/meta-pant-athletic-slim-32-warm-grey","quote":"Tumble Dry

feel and performance properties","entries":{"quick_dry_time":"In real-world use, the quick-dry fabric fully dried in roughly 20 minutes after being caught in rain, so a sudden downpour on a commute isn't a day-ender—the pants shed moisture rapidly without holding a wet, clingy feel.","odor_resistance":"An anti-odor finish—confirmed in a 20+ hour international travel test where no travel odors developed—means these pants stay fresh over multi-day wears without washing, a critical advantage for one-bag travelers or those who transition from work to workouts.","versalife_polyester":"Vuori's VersaLife polyester fabric uses a 4-way stretch woven construction that gives the Meta pant the unrestricted range of motion and soft, jogger-like comfort typically associated with knit activewear, while the weave maintains enough structure to read as a 5-pocket pant.","midweight_thermoregulation":"The polyester fabric is cut at a midweight density that breathes well enough to keep wearers cool in summer yet provides a light insulating layer in colder months, making the pant genuinely wearable year-round rather than a purely warm-weather piece.","lightweight_smooth_super_stretchy_handfeel":"Vuori’s own descriptor of the Meta fabric as 'lightweight, smooth + super stretchy' translates into a tactile experience that is slick against the
